this book really made me think!! wow. especially from a modern day perspective, the salem witch trials are just SO interesting to read about and understand. despite this being a school book i wasn’t somehow turned off of it and hate it, and despite it being a classic & play in one, i literally got through it all in ONE DAY!!!! the social commentary on mass hysteria used as an allegory to the mccarthyism of it’s time… in awe.
